About this property
Surfside - Walk to Ruakaka Beach & Surf Club
Stay just moments from the coast at Surfside, a self-contained two-bedroom guest suite only 350 metres from Ruakaka Beach, the Ruakaka Surf Club, and The Bach Café.
Located on the ground level beneath the main home, this comfortable space opens out to a private garden and shaded outdoor dining area.
A practical, relaxed base for beach days or working stays in Ruakaka.
Surfside is a private, self-contained two-bedroom guest suite located on the lower level of a two-storey home. It has its own entrance and dedicated outdoor area, offering privacy and independence while being part of a well-maintained coastal property.
The layout is simple and functional, well suited to beach days or guests working locally. Both bedrooms open directly onto the outdoor deck and garden via sliding doors.
Please note: this is a guest suite rather than a full standalone house. There is no separate lounge or large indoor living area. The space is designed around the bedrooms, kitchenette, bathroom, and outdoor areas.

- Westinghouse 33L convection air oven (bench-top air oven)
- Kettle and toaster (located in a separate cupboard area)
- Mini fridge (in a dedicated cupboard)
- Washing machine neatly located under the benchtop
- Basic cookware, crockery, cutlery, glasses, and mugs
There is a small indoor dining table for casual meals, with outdoor dining also available.
